Windows Virtual Desktop Static IP
Christian_Montoya I think he meant "Windows Virtual Desktop" the new Azure feature (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/virtual-desktop/). I would like to know the same, is there any way to assign static IP to the group of WVD VMs or at least to each WVD VM?
Microsoft4egtfk , Giannis Aidinis : What exactly would the Static IP address be used for? Is this for any communications out from the VMs when you have an active session and you're browsing the Internet, etc.? If so, I did find an article how outbound connections from a load balancer
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/load-balancer/load-balancer-outbound-rules-overview
However, we haven't tested this scenario. Would love to hear how it works for you, if this is what you're looking for and you implement this,.
- Hello.
Why does it matter what it is needed for? I don't see why you would need a static IP for out bound internet access. A static IP would only be needed for inbound traffic from one service to send data to another PC. Why reply with a question to an obvious question. He wants an external static IP. what difference does it make why he needs it?
Load balancer only supports 5 outbound rules. One outbound rule can only be attached to one NIC. An availability set only supports one load balancer.
Means, you can use a load balancer with outbound rules, if you have a maximum of 5 VMs in your hostpool. If you have more than 5, a load balancer with outbound rules does not works.
